Awesome Amish Photographer
Bill Coleman has the wonderful distinction of being a talented photographer and having a wonderful relationship with a group of Pennsylvania Old Order Amish.
In his brochure he clearly states that there are no “posed pictures” as these Amish do not take lightly to photographers. He also mentions that a few and very special of these Amish have given him permission to roam around the farms and occasionally take photos. This is a very special relationship that he has gained, grown and guarded for over 24 years. His photos are not mass produced and each one is hand made in his own darkroom.
He mentions that incursions of this kind have their critics as I realized after some of my photos were published on www.AmishAmerica.com . I would agree with Mr. Coleman that the photos should speak for themselves for if they show us a glimpse into way of life that is both unique and special and and it moves us to reflect for a moment on our own way of life that it is worth it. Please enjoy this special glimpse in to Amish culture. His website is www.amishphoto.com
